Step 2 of 7
White corners
What you should end up with
The white face is complete, and the bottom layer matches the centres on every side.
The diagram shows the cube from below, where the white face is.
How to do it
- Find a corner with a white sticker on top and look at its other two colours.
- Turn the top until the corner is above its place, between the centres of those two colours. Hold the cube with the corner at the top front right.
- Repeat R U R' U' until the corner drops into place, white side down. It takes 1, 3 or 5 repeats, depending on where the white sticker faces.

If it does not work
›Lost count? Just keep going: 6 repeats bring everything back, so the right position always comes up.
›The cross is safe in this step, even when it looks broken: it comes back at the end of every repeat.
